-----In karakura town----

Ichigo was walking home from school, it had been another quiet day, no hollow attacks, Rukia was still in the Soul Society, and he hadn't received any information on the state of the war.

Ichigo's pace slowed to a stop "Something's not right, there hasn't been a hollow here for months now. Rukia and the other shinigami haven't contacted me, so the Soul Society must still be fine" he thought "but I still feel uneasy, it's like the calm before the storm"


---Hueco Mundo, Crisis's throne room----

Crisis spat a curse "that boy is too damn resourceful!" he raged "he's ruined my intel on their formations, increased their fighting capacity tenfold, and now this!"

Eight shadowy figures stood in the room with Crisis, none were clearly visible in the low light, and their forms seemed nearly transparent.

"My lord" one spoke, it's voice heavily distorted "with the two forces united, an invasion of the seireitei will be too costly, we will not have enough troops left to challenge the Royal Guard. The loss of Aza is problematic as well"

"I know that you fool!" Crisis snapped "speak of how to solve the issue, not of the complications themselves!"

"I have an idea lord" another figure said "based on the intel I gained from the captives, there is a target the Gotei must protect at all costs"

Crisis perked up "Go on" he commanded

An image of Karakura town appeared in the center of the room on a large obsidian table.

"This is Karakura town" the figure saif "currently it is the center of an area saturated with spirit energy 1 square mile in size. Our recently acquired captive intended to harvest this energy to create a key to the royal dimension by destroying the town"

Crisis grinned "if we had that key we could bypass the Gotei entirely, attacking the Royal Guard with full force"

"which is why the Gotei will have no choice but to send their strongest troops to defending the town if we put some pressure on, leaving the gotei itself more vulnerable. Furthermore, I have a plan to eliminate these problematic new shinigami, but it should be discussed in person"

Crisis nodded "Very well, you will return to the palace at the first opportunity to discuss that plan" he said in a tone that brooked no discussion.

"the rest of you, 5 through 9, you'll take your forces and invade this town immediately" Crisis said as he turned to the other figures "3 and 4, continue preparations for the final assault, my unit will join you and direct this, now all of you begone!"

Instantly all the figures blinked out, Crisis sat back in his seat and folded his hands "what will you do now I wonder? Torin Izanki" he chuckled


----Karakura town-----

Ichigo was home now, sitting at his desk doing homework.

"HEY! Ichigo!" a muffled voice said as his backpack squirmed and a stuffed lion climbed out "what's the big idea? I was suffocating in there all day!"

Without looking at the lion, Ichigo continued doing his work until the lion kicked him in the face.

"Don't ignore me!" the lion said as it kicked Ichigo, only to get thrown away by Ichigo

"I need you there in case a hollow attacks, so shut up and deal with it Kon!" Ichigo said

Kon got up and dusted himself off. He was about to keep complaining, but was cut off by the air bursting into static from the sudden appearance of a large amount of reiatsu. Ichigo dove for Kon and stuck his hand in his mouth, much to Kon's displeasure, and pulled out a green candy. The doll fell limp as Ichigo ate the candy.

Ichigo seemed to pop out of his own body, now in shinigami garb. "Take care of Yuzu and Karin while I check it out Kon" he ordered

Kon, now in Ichigo's body, saluted "yes sir!" it said

With that, Ichigo jumped out the window.

----above Karakura town----

In the sky above Karakura town, several massive gargantas had appeared, revealing several hundred arrancar and hollows. A single man stepped forward from the garganta. He was of an average height, with jet black hair and golden eyes. His skin varied in color, looking like a patchwork of different people's skins, but was predominantly white.

"teams 7 through 9 attack the city, the rest of you set up a base of operations and begin constructing the grand garganta creator" The man said "I shall handle the local defenders"

The hollows and arrancar dispersed, and almost immediately Ichigo appeared before the man, cutting down a hollow on the way.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Ichigo demanded

The man chuckled "my purpose is quite obvious I should think, as for who I am, dead men can't remember names"

In an instant, the man was behind Ichigo, casually throwing a side kick at him. Ichigo spun and blocked with the flat of his sword, but the kick sent him crashing through several buildings


----elsewhere in town-----

Uryuu Ishida had been going about his business that day, having recently regained his powers thanks to his father. Now he was using those powers constantly, it was lucky for him that he had gotten the powers back, or he and half the senior class at school would've gotten eaten by a hollow.

Still, as he ran through the city, dispatching hollows, the situation was deteriortating quickly. Buildings were in flames, and people ran about screaming as unseen enemies slaughtered them. There were arrancar too, and Uryuu had more trouble dispatching those.

Uryuu drew his bow and aimed, but sensed an arrancar behind him. "Crap!" he cursd as he turned in a futile attempt to strike first. Just as the arrancar struck though, a triangular golden shield of light formed, blocking the strike, then breaking apart as Uryuu pincushioned the arrancar.

"Thanks for the save Orihime" Uryuu said with relief as the busty orange hairded girl ran up to him.

Orihime opened her mouth to respond, then her eyes widened, Uryuu reacedt fast, grabbing Orihime and using Kirenkyaku to move away as a large arrancar smashed where they had been standing. Uryuu placed Orihime down nearby, then returned to the fight. He turned and opened fire on the arrancar, but the arrows couldn't peirce the man's hierro.

The arrancar chortled and prepared to charge, but another voice called out "el directo!"

The arrancar was consumed by a blast of blue energy as a large dark skinned man appeared, his arm a red an black color and smoking from firing the blast, "need help?" he asked.

"Good timing Chad!" Orihime said "we were in trouble there!"

"no problem" Chad said "but where's Ichigo?"

The three sensed a presence and looked up to see Ichigo crash to the ground, his bankai in hand.

"Kurosaki-Kun!" orihime cried as she made a dome of yellow light around Ichigo that began to reverse the damage dealt to the badly hurt man.

The man Ichigo had been fighting appeared in the air before the group. "Pathetic, I'd heard the substitute shinigami was strong, guess not… Still, Lord Crisis will be happy to hear he's died" the man said.

Uryuu and Chad stepped in front of Ichigo's body, preparing their attacks.

The man looked down at them with disdain "stupid humans, you can't fight me with those weak abilities" he said as he began to approach.

The man paused, sensing something "so the gotei finally showed up" he said as he blocked a kick from an armored foot.

Torin made spike grow from his leg to try and cut the man, but he was pushed away.

"let's see if you're more powerful than the last one!" the man said as he charged

Torin couldn't believe it, but one instant the man was in one place, the next he was kicking Torin in the chest. "I couldn't react at all!" Torin thought in a panic as he got kicked through a building.

Torin charged back, fists blazing with light, he kept the kurisutarubimu's in his fists as he got in close and used a miz of shunpo and punches to try and hit the man. Each strike came close to connecting, but the man always dodged at the last second.

"tut tut, only marginally better speed than that Ichigo, and not too impressive with your hakuda either" the man said as he pushed a strike aside and made his arms a blur. Torin got hit by a few hundred punches in about 3 seconds, getting sent crashing to the ground.

"Pathetic! PATHETIC!" the man said "and you're the one who is giving Lord Crisis so much trouble? You're the one that killed his simulacrum? I don't believe it, come on, you must be holding something back!"

Torin got to his knees and spat "Kurisurarubimu!" as he launched the wave at the man.

The man frowned in concern as he caught the beam with one hand and got pushed back. "ngh…" he grunted as he threw the attack to the side of him.

Torin looked up in horror, his enemy had just stopped his bankai's kurisutarubimu with his bare hand! What kind of arrancar was he!?

"hmph, worthless, I'll just finish this now!" The man said

"Roar! Zabimaru!" Renji said as he appeared and sent his shikait out, getting blocked by the man's hierro.

Thousands of massive swords rose from the ground on either side of the man. "Bankai, senbozakura kageoshi" Byakuya said as he appeared as well, the blades split into a countless small blades, which surged towards the man.

The man's eyes widened as he dodged the waves of blades and observed many more shinigami appear. "tsk… looks like it's time to fall back" he muttered, then he vanished in a sonido.
Almost caught up! I have up to Ch37 on paper atm, like I said, i lost a notebook and some of my work, but no worries, its all in my head. I'm just excited that now my writing progress and typing progress are getting close to being the same.

So this is a pretty nice chapter I think, decent length, lots of action, I moved the plot forward, as well as gave a sense of how the war is going in general now.

There's a few things you can glean from this chapter, if you can get how I think and look at things the right way. I'll be interested to see if anyone guesses anything.
